Apostille & Attestation Services in Bangalore
Apostille and attestation for Bengaluru's IT professionals, students and start-ups: degrees, experience letters and company documents, with pickup.
In Bengaluru (Bangalore), the technology sector shapes most of our work. Engineers and managers relocating abroad need degrees, transcripts and experience letters accepted by employers and immigration authorities; their families need marriage and birth certificates for dependant visas; and start-ups expanding overseas need company documents recognised by foreign banks, investors and partners.
We collect documents from homes and offices across the city — from Whitefield and Electronic City to Hebbal and Yelahanka — and return them by courier.
How Karnataka documents are authenticated
Before the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issues an Apostille, most documents are authenticated by the state that issued them. For Karnataka documents, that typically means a Karnataka government department — the education department for academic records, and the Home Department or the state's administrative department for personal documents.
Common local issuers include:
- Universities: Bangalore University; Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), which awards degrees for many engineering colleges in the state; Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, for medical and nursing courses; and Christ University.
- School boards: SSLC and PUC certificates from the Karnataka state boards.
- Civic records: birth and death certificates registered with the city corporation.
Many people working in Bengaluru studied elsewhere. Certificates from Anna University go through Tamil Nadu, and those from Osmania University through Telangana — the authenticating state follows the issuer, not your address.
Relocating for work
For the USA, UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Japan and Singapore, the MEA Apostille applies. Germany is different: Indian Apostilles are not valid there, and German authorities may ask for a separate verification procedure, so confirm their requirements first.
Experience certificates are private documents, so they are notarised and then authenticated before the MEA stage. Ask your employer for a letter on company letterhead, signed and stamped, showing your dates of employment and designation.
Company documents for start-ups
Certificates of incorporation, board resolutions and articles of association are usually attested by a Chamber of Commerce before the MEA stage. If a foreign authority needs them in its own language, our translation service can help.

My degree is from VTU. Where is it authenticated?
VTU is a Karnataka university, so its degrees typically go to Karnataka's education department, after any verification the university requires, and then to the MEA.
Does my experience letter need an Apostille for a work visa?
It depends on the destination and the authority. Some immigration and skills-assessment bodies accept experience letters without legalisation, while others ask for an Apostille or attestation, so check their document list first.
Can you legalise documents for a start-up setting up abroad?
Yes. Certificates of incorporation, board resolutions and memoranda or articles of association are usually attested by a Chamber of Commerce, then apostilled or attested by the MEA depending on the destination.
I am moving to Germany. Do I need an Apostille?
Indian Apostilles are not valid in Germany, because Germany's 2005 objection to India's accession has not been withdrawn. German authorities may ask for a document verification procedure arranged through the German mission instead, so confirm with the authority receiving your documents.
